"Master, Feisha City is not far ahead."

Ye Youyu was driving the spirit boat and pointing at a city that appeared on the edge of the desert.

Gu Gugu was lying leisurely on the lounge chair on the deck, while Qing Qianqiu was fanning her vigorously with a fan.

...

Hearing Ye Youyu's voice, Gu Gugu slowly opened one eye.

On the other side of the horizon, a slightly dilapidated yellow sand town stood quietly at the end.

Feisha City is not very large. It is located near the border between humans and demons. A few years ago, the permanent population was about 100,000.

But since two years ago, when human monks occasionally launched surprise attacks and killed the demon monks stationed in the city, many demons have moved out of the city one after another.

Now there are only about 20,000 people left in the city.

The sharp decline in population has made this small border town even more desolate, and even the monks passing by are unwilling to stay here.

"Cast a sleight of hand to prevent mortals from seeing us."

Hearing Gu Gugu's instructions, Ye Youyu did not doubt it and immediately made a gesture.

Their mission this time was to lurk here. If they flew into the city in a swagger, the news that there were monks stationed there would definitely reach the ears of the human race, and their mission this time would be declared bankrupt.

After a while, they arrived above the city gate.

Looking down, I saw a large red flag with the word "Liu" on it flying at the city gate. A team of mortal soldiers in armor and holding spears were collecting entrance fees from merchants who wanted to enter the city.

"Sir, wasn't the entrance fee only two cents a few days ago? Why is it four cents today?!"

Listening to the vendor's complaints, the soldier sneered and pointed his thumb at the "Liu" flag behind him.

"Don't tell me these things. I am just following orders. There are no cultivators in the city now, so everyone has to listen to the Liu family. If you have any opinions, go talk to the Liu family."

The peddler wanted to argue, but when he heard the word "Liu family", he stopped talking and just paid the money with a bitter smile.

When Gu Gugu heard the word "Liu family", her brows slightly frowned.

She had been to Feisha City once before, but had never heard of the Liu family.

Ye Youyu immediately came up and explained.

"Master, the Liu family is a mortal family in this city. They were still well behaved when there were cultivators in Feisha City. But now that the tiger is gone, the monkey is king."

Gu Gugu nodded, and the spirit boat of several people passed through the city gate and landed in an alley in Feisha City.

Although the atmosphere in the city was more lively than expected, it was still very limited. As the three of them walked along the way, they saw quite a few beggars in ragged clothes.

Qing Qianqiu had been a beggar for a short period of time before. Whenever he saw someone who was really miserable, he would take out some food and give it to the person. The beggar who received the food would naturally kowtow and thank them with tears of gratitude.

Seeing Qing Qianqiu’s sympathetic expression, Gu Gugu asked curiously.

"Remember the good old days?"

The corners of Qing Qianqiu's mouth twitched violently.

Gu Gugu was indifferent to this. Some beggars in her previous life refreshed her cognition, so she lost her sympathy for this group early on.

Instead, Ye Youyu asked in a strange voice.

"Junior brother, why don't you just give them money and let them buy it themselves? Money and the like are of no use to us cultivators."

Qing Qianqiu sighed and spoke earnestly.

"Brother, you don't know that beggars are at the bottom of society. If you feed them, you are saving their lives. If you give them money, you are harming them instead."

Upon hearing this, Ye Youyu nodded thoughtfully, then patted Qing Qianqiu on the shoulder and said solemnly.

"Junior brother, you should have sympathy, but not too much, otherwise it will kill you sooner or later."

After saying this, he didn't even wait for Qing Qianqiu to digest this sentence, and followed Gu Gugu's steps.

Before the whole village was massacred by Gu Gugu, Ye Youyu was also a small bandit.

Expect a bandit to have sympathy for a beggar?

Stop joking, it would be merciful not to stab him twice.

In this cruel era where the strong prey on the weak, compassion can really kill people.

Qing Qianqiu stood there in a daze, feeling Gu Gugu and Ye Youyu getting farther and farther away from him, and was speechless for a long time.

Am I really too kind?

He couldn't figure it out, but after giving out the food, he quickly followed Gu Gugu's pace.

"Master, where shall we go first?"

Qing Qianqiu used his spiritual sense to keep an eye on everything around him and asked in a low voice.

Gu Gugu said casually while looking at the shops around the street.

"Let's find a real estate agency first. We're going to live here for a year, so we can't do this without buying a house."

I worked hard for several years in my previous life, but I couldn’t even afford the down payment for a house.

This made Gu Gugu have a strong desire to buy real estate after she traveled into the book.

The Mofapi Peak within the sect was bought by Gu Gugu at a huge expense.

It feels so good to buy a mountain in one go.

After a brief search, Gu Gugu walked into an agency.

A middle-aged man with a goatee came forward and greeted with a smile on his face.

"Dear guests, my surname is Wang, and I am the owner of this store. What kind of house would you like to buy?"

If you work in the real estate industry, you must first have good vision.

Gu Gugu and his group are rich people, just by looking at their attire!

Especially the material of the black cheongsam that Gu Gugu is wearing.

Shopkeeper Wang has never seen this kind of material in his life!

Big customers, must be big customers!

Sure enough, Gu Gugu’s next sentence did not disappoint him.

"Which is the largest house here? Take me to see it."

Although her voice was soft, the weight of her words hit Shopkeeper Wang hard in the heart.

He knew that he had really met an important client this time, so he immediately hailed a first-class carriage and respectfully gestured for him to come in.

"Please follow me, sir. I will show you right away."

More than ten minutes later, the four got out of the car in front of a magnificent mansion in the east of the city.

Gu Gugu swept his spiritual sense and gained a clear understanding of the house and the environment within a twenty-mile radius around the mansion.

This house is indeed one of the most luxurious houses in the city. The artificial boating lake in the garden alone is larger than the houses of five or six ordinary families combined.

There are only three houses of this size in Feisha City. One is the Liu family's house, and the other two are still vacant. I think the prices are too high and ordinary people can't afford them.

Several people walked into the house. The huge house was covered with a thick layer of dust because it had been vacant for a long time.

Before he had taken a few steps, Shopkeeper Wang had already recited it skillfully.

"Look, sir. This house faces south and is adjacent to..."

"No need for introductions. I'm not short of money. Just give me the price."

As soon as Manager Wang started to introduce himself, all the rest of his words were blocked back in his stomach by Gu Gugu.

His heart was pounding and for a moment he felt a little dry in the mouth. After swallowing hard to moisten his throat, he tremblingly stretched out two fingers and said.

"Sir, since you are so generous, I won't say much. I will just give you the change. It only costs two hundred thousand taels."

When Shopkeeper Wang was quoting the price, he stared at the three people without blinking, as if he was making some plans.

But when these three heard this astronomical price, their expressions did not change at all.

Wow, this is the calmness that only truly rich people can have.

Gu Gugu nodded. This amount of silver was just a drop in the bucket for her. She had used some tricks when she first entered the book, and now she had no shortage of silver, spirit stones, or elixirs.

Although the money is a lot, she is not a sucker and she will still find out what she needs to know.

"I see there is a house of similar size a little further west. How much is that house?"

When Shopkeeper Wang heard Gu Gugu mention this, the corners of his eyes twitched violently. After hesitating for a long time, he sighed and said.

"I dare not hide the truth from you, sir. That house only costs one hundred thousand taels."

Upon hearing this, Ye Youyu immediately quit.

"You are such a dishonest boss. How can you sell a house of similar size to us for twice the price?"

Shopkeeper Wang waved his hands repeatedly.

"My dear sir, you misunderstood. It's not that we want to sell it at a high price. There are reasons for this. Before yesterday, the house was also sold for more than 200,000 yuan."

Ye Youyu became interested when he heard this and asked repeatedly.

"Why?"

Shopkeeper Wang's smile widened and he bowed in reply.

"Hey, we lost a lot of money on that house. Yesterday we took a client to see the house, but when we pushed the door open, guess what? There was a headless body at the door! There was blood all over the floor!"

"The customer who was going to buy the house was scared away and said he would not buy it. I don't know who leaked the news, but the whole city knew about it."

"A good house turned into a haunted house overnight. No one dares to buy it. We can only sell it at a half price! I just hope I can sell it as soon as possible so I don't lose too much money, ah."

After Shopkeeper Wang finished speaking, he sighed again.

He took the initiative to confess the matter not because he was honest, but because anyone could find out by asking around in the city, and it really could not be kept secret!

After listening to the story, Ye Youyu looked at Gu Gugu and asked.

"Master, are we going to buy that house?"

For them, the monks, one person's death in the house is nothing. Some of the demonic monks directly capture hundreds of people and bring them back to their caves to refine human elixirs. The blood flows like a faucet, but they can still live well.

Unexpectedly, Gu Gugu just shook his head.

"No, now I like this house better, so I'll buy this one."

After saying that, she reached out to take out the banknote.

At this moment, the door of the house was slammed open, and an extremely arrogant voice came in.

"Wait, shopkeeper, I, Liu Adou, want this house!"
